I've recommended a lot of people to use it , And most have put claims in ... They must only want a car that won't breakdown ...

This is very bad news as far as I am concerned as i was planning to renew with warranty direct as most members on here thought very highly of them :-(

Must be all those H&R kits as replacement for DRC :P

It'll be interesting come renewal time as to who offers what level of car, especially as the rate of DRC failure seems to be at an all time high !
